Please correct me if I'm wrong nut isn't the author of the piece a Liverpool fan? If so he must have written this with a heavy heart but at lease he doesn't allow sentiment to cloud his judgement. He's spot on.

I guess for the match going fans it is a bit different, as they will look at this season as one with two or three trips to Wembley, and one or two cups won, which doesn't look bad at all. As one said to me, "no one remembers league position unless you finish 1st".


That is a fair point, and they are the ones spending their hard earned money, and commuting a large part of their lives to supporting their team, whilst the likes of me just watch in the pub. I do think though that they'd find it hard to read that and see the truth in it. The cup runs are undoubtedly papering over the gaping cracks. And lets not forget that Cardiff easily could have won the league cup if luck had been on their side.

Liverpool have some very good youngsters but I can't see the team being premiership contenders in the next five years.


Teams like Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are widening the gap between Liverpool because of their youth policy and wealthy backers. That's the problem, whether you agree with it or not, Liverpool will always play catch up to the big five. As Liverpool improves, the other teams will as well from their position of strength.


Also, Liverpool were fortunate enough to beat the mighty* Cardiff in the mickey mouse cup. But there are still big names left in the FA cup to win it. Is the mickey mouse cup good enough for the Liverpool fans? Liverpool are not a top five side and so will not gain revenue from Champion League games and bolster their squad accordingly in the future. Realistically, Dalglish needs to be given five years to develop their young players before Liverpool becomes a top side again.


* sarcasm ;-)

United got lucky last night not conceding a penalty. I wonder how long Welbeck is going to get to prove or otherwise he is up to scratch. He just doesn't impress me as being exceptional.Meanwhile last season's leading scorer doesn't get a game. And what a talented player Berbi is.

Well done chelsea. Honestly didnt think you had a chance but i think you proved most of us wrong!


I know this is like trying to find a needle in a haystack BUT i really want to go the FA cup final and was wandering if there was any chance someone in the big ED could help me out? Willing to spend upto ?100, maybe more. Preferably in the spurs end!


Thanks.

The words FA Cup Final ticket and ?100 are never heard in the same sentence unless the sentence runs like this " you want an FA CUp Final ticket for ?100, are you serious????" B)

Very funny - Harry tells it slightly differently in his autobiog., that he told Futre to fuck off and didn't care if he never saw him again and that Futre came crawling back days later with his manager and lawyer, offered the cash first then offered Moncur the sweetener but that Moncur didn't give a monkey's what number he wore so all they had to do was square it with the FA.


Then - a little later - after seeing Futre, Dumitrescu and Raducioiu standing on the halfway line watching while WH's goal was being bombarded by Sunderland in the cold and wet he realised it probably wasn't going to work out.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
